Ok... so it may look crazy... but I thought we'd try out all the "at home" beauty pins I had been pinning on Pinterest. My friends seemed like they were game and fortunately all of our luggage still fit in the car with my 'box o' beauty'. Well... barely...
First we started with the apple cider vinegar and Epsom salt soak. I know there were suppose to be some kind of measurements, but I really just poured a bunch of both in. I have to agree... it was very refreshing....
And my lovely friends...
Then we did the shaving cream on the feet. And although messy.... it did soften our feet. Definitely an outside project.
Then we did the equal parts of warm water and Listerine.... I poured it in the bathtub. I tried to get the water really hot by pouring water from the kettle in it. I have to say... that seemed didn't do much for me. Out of everything I tried, this was probably my least favorite. Maybe I needed more Listerine?
Then Amy mentioned that rings can be cleaned in vodka. I'd never heard of that, but why not??
The collection of the rings...
Gotta smile fore the camera....
I forgot to take a picture of the rings once they were clean. But I took one at dinner and the rings did sparkle in the dark...
Then we did the olive oil with sugar scrub for the hands. About a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of olive oil. Once done, rinse the hands to get the sugar off and then towel dry the olive oil off. I get dry hands a lot. I love this tip. I've used it many times since. It's better than lotion.
Then we did the baking soda on the lemon to clean the finger nails. I sprinkled it on each lemon, don't be shy with the baking soda. It worked best if the lemons were cut in wedges. Sure enough... clean nail beds.
Then we did the 1tsp of baking soda, 1tsp of hydrogen peroxide, and 1/2 tsp of water, and brush for 2 minutes to get white teeth.
This one tasted gross, but felt like we just got back from the dentist, so it was affective. I would need to play with it, but my guess would be less baking soda. Of course would need to be done more often to whiten.
Then we did the 3tbsp of baking soda and 1 tbsp of water to exfoliate our face. I actually liked the exfoliation so much I used it to wash my face day and night because I forgot my facewash.
Then we did the honey mask. Just spread honey on your face for the antioxidants and that it's great for your skin. Yep.. no shame in our game..
Then we took a break for a little massage train...
I bought the avocado because I wanted to try the - 1/2 avocado, 1 egg, 2tsbp olive oil to hair. Apply to damp clean hair. Wrap in saran wrap for 10-15 min and then rinse.
I would probably need to double or triple the recipe to do it for my hair, but I love that Amy was game to try it. It's to moisturize your hair. She liked it.
We finished by taking green tea bags I had soaked in hot water and put in the fridge (hint... this was the first thing I did before we got started) to put on our eyes for puffiness.
We had a great time trying these beauty tips out, no matter how weird they seemed. It made me feel like I was doing those tips we would see in teen magazines when we were 15. It gave us something fun to do... cause what is better than great times with great friends?
I was definitely feeling the love...
